#33049 — Deliveries from RS Components, Courier's Please

Usually these things either get stuffed into my letter box, or left on 
my doorstep, but twice recently, the tracking status says that a 
delivery was attempted, but that I was closed ("closed"? It's a private 
residence). No card was left.

On the earlier occasion the item was left on my doorstep the next day, 
without so much as a knock, and I was definitely in when it was 
delivered. It remains to be seen whether the second such package will 
arrive tomorrow.

I rather suspect that no such attempt is being made. Anyone else had 
trouble with Couriers Please?

Sylvia.

Usually have no problems. I think any issues come down to the individual 
courier doing the drop off. Some DGAF, some do.

**None at all. I get at least one delivery per week from RS (sometimes 2 
~ 3), through Couriers Please. They leave it at my front door at around 
8:00AM ~ 8:30AM. Where I am is the least burgled suburb in Sydney metro, 
so I never lose an order.

Where are you getting the least burgled stats from ?

Noticed someone said elsewhere, whirlpool from memory,
that one of the QLD islands infested with druggys on the dole
had had almost every single place done over multiple times
and wondered if we had stats as useful as that in NSW that
can be checked online etc.

**It was on SMH a few months back. There is a less burgled place, 
somewhere West of the mountains. But in Sydney metro, Oyster Bay is the 
place.

exactly what is going on.

I don’t have an insurance company and I doubt most
actually claim with that sort of petty theft so the insurance
companys wouldn’t  even know about most of it.

Mine all come by Toll, although I haven't ordered anything in a little
while. I hope their heven't switched services because "Couriers Please"
(what sort of a name is that?) always drop off their parcels at the
local post office rather than bother to come out to the middle of
nowhere to find me. Maybe that's why I get them by Toll...

Toll actually forward the parcels on to local courrier companies for
deliveries out in the sticks.

As I understand it, the courier officially needs the parcel
to have a note saying that they have "authority to leave" it
without getting a signature. I believe some of my RS parcels
have come with a fluorescent sticker on them to that effect,
but many haven't.

I just got a Philips Hue LED light strip plus from Simply LEDs
and they used Toll Priority to deliver it. While the delivery
worked fine, the track was completely fucking useless.
The Simply LEDs order status never did anything but popup
with a tracking number, nothing ever more than that.

The Toll site always had an error message.

Not clear if that was because they don’t actually operate
in my town and handed it to another courier in Sydney
to deliver it to my country town or what. I meant to ask
the delivery person about that but managed to forget
to when he couldn’t work out where my front door was
so I went out to talk to him so he didn’t piss off back
to the depot with it etc.

Yeah, I assumed that must have been what was the
problem with the lack of tracking info but they
could at least say who they used locally.

I did have to sign an A4 sheet with mine which he took with him.
Nothing special on the satchel cept overnight. Took a full week
from Sydney.

I put in an order on 7/4/2017 with stock coming from local and
international warehouses.

The local package arrived from NSW with a Toll Priority sticker
and a clear yellow "No Signature Required" sticker on one corner,
also with the Toll logo on it. It got here on 12/4/17, not Toll's
best performance.

The international package actually did arrive by Couriers Please,
but in the hands of the same sub-contractor who delivers the Toll
packages to me. It arrived on Wednesday (19/4/17), and I had to
sign for it.

The Couriers Please package was a box whereas the Toll one was a
padded bag. In the past I've got boxes sent by Toll. Read into this
what you will.
